No! The first ones were too bland. I'd take the old Freedom Tower design over the WTC design!

Bland or not that's what was there first. If the U.S. Capitol building got destroyed I seriously doubt they'd try to replace it with something else. I kinda find it hard to replace something that was so big with something totally different.

The U.S. Capitol example was probaby extreme but if the Library Tower in LA, Bank of China building or Jin Mao tower got destroyed in a terrorist attact why would the NOT replace them to their original look?

Without a doubt, this was the best. It's a shame this one never gets built..

But, of the Freedom Tower which have been chosen, the first design was the best:
